分析 本文是介绍冰淇淋的历史,源自亚洲,探险家马可波罗看见亚洲人吃冰,他将冰激凌带入了欧洲,从此冰激凌开始在欧洲流行,后来在世界范围内受到欢迎.现在的技术很成熟,冰淇淋都不容易化.
解答 36.D.推理题.本题询问冰淇淋什么时候开始在许多国家流行,文章提到的冰淇淋发展史的年代有三个,第一个‘in the late 1200s',Marco Polo第一次发现亚洲人制造冰淇淋,第二个是‘by the late 1700s',冰淇淋开始在欧洲和美洲销售.第三个是‘in the late 1800s',冰淇淋工业开始发展.我们可以看出题干中‘become well-known in many countries'所指的意思应该和第三个出现年代的句子‘the ice cream industry began to grow'相呼应.故选D.
37.A.推理题.根据第二段Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy.他讲冰激凌带入了欧洲,从此冰激凌开始在欧洲流行,后来在世界范围内受到欢迎.因此Marco Polo在冰激凌的发展史中起到了最重要的作用.故选A.
38.C.细节题.题干是问为什么冰淇淋可以在任何地方销售,根据最后A way of keeping it frozen had been found,so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting (融化) anymore.是因为现在的技术很成熟,冰淇淋都不容易化.故选C.
